Fig Roasting Day

Fig Roasting Day

This past Saturday, I wanted to clean up the fridge of food that hasn’t been eaten. On the bottom shelf of the fridge I found some figs. These figs were pretty ripe and it had to be eaten right away. If it were just 3 or 4, I would have just popped these babies into my mouth. I had bought a large container to share with the kids and wouldn’t you know it…they didn’t even touch it. This means I had the whole dang container leftover. By now, you probably know I have a thing about wasting food. Other than freezing it for future smoothies, I thought that roasting it would be a good option. Hold On! I know you are going to think that this is going to take too long or that this sounds too fancy schmancy. But the whole process is really easy and the results are yummy.
